With respect, that Technics cartridge overhang alignment tool is open to gross parallax error. Get yourself an arc protractor like Ken Willis supplies ("Accutrak") - I have 3 of them (they're arm-specific).

You asked "How accurate does it have to be?" ... I would suggest to within 0.1mm, at worse.

To achieve positioning accuracy to 0.1mm (0.004") would seem to require more than the unaided eye and unsteady hand. How do you get it that close?
